.. The indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby appears to be the first for a sitting White House official high up in rank in 100 years. This does not bode well for the remaining 3 years of President George W. Bush's 2nd term. Libby is presumed without guilt, of course, a hallmark of American jurisprudence pending a conviction. The public trial, which may start as early as December, will weigh down heavily on this White House like a dark cloud. It will be very tough to just move forward as if nothing happened. Bush needs a bevy of good news to rain on him to preserve his image of a consequential president.
